Former Cash Money Records rapper Juvenile has spoken out on reports claiming he is a wanted man in relation to a $160,000 child support case, claiming fans should not believe the "deadbeat dad" speculation.
Admitting he had no knowledge of the active warrant, Juvie said the legal matter is now being handled by his attorney.
TMZ just spoke with the "Back That Azz Up" rapper ... who put it bluntly, "This is a bunch of bullsh*t." As we previously reported, Juvenile is a wanted man in Louisiana for allegedly stiffing his baby mama out of more than $160k in child support for their 13-year-old son. But the rapper tells us, "I was never informed that there was a warrant out for my arrest." He explains, "My son stays with me most of the time ... I take care of my son ... I love my son. We asked how Juv plans to proceed now that he's aware of the legal situation ... to which he replied, "Now that I know, my lawyer is on it ... I'm going to handle it." (TMZ)
Prior to clearing up the matter, Juvie took to Twitter and put TMZ on blast.
"For any info pertaining to me check out the source .com for the truth we all know TMZ hate hiphop so what do they do they put out lies," he tweeted February 24th. (Juvenile's Twitter)
